Here’s another Splitcoast Creative Crew challenge card. The challenge is to create a card for Grandparents Day with a vintage look. When I think of my grandparents, I think “amazing” – so Lovely Romance was the stamp set!

First I embossed the Very Vanilla with the Beautifully Baroque stamp set, then stamped I Love Lace over the top. The next Vanilla layer is Postcard with Lovely Romance – and it’s topped with Bloom with Hope and the sentiment from Lovely Romance.

Supplies

Stamp Sets – Lovely Romance, I Love Lace, Postcard, Bloom with Hope

Card stock – Very Vanilla, Early Espresso

Ink – Early Espresso,Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette

Etc – Beautifully Baroque and Fan embossing folder, lace, Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz Stampin Write Markers, pearls

Here’s a project that I did for the Splitcoast Creative Crew 🙂 The challenge is for the Scrapbook and More Focus: Make a treat and package it. Come play with us!

I used Wondrous Wreath and the new Cafe Bags to make this. First I ran the bag through the Big Shot using the Woodgrain embossing folder then I stamped the wreath. I punched a tiny hole using the smallest hand held punch to attach the Wooden Essential leaf. All the supplies are listed here.

Wondrous Wreath has a matching die set and markers on the stamps so you can line them up. It’s very easy to do. The tag on the bag was made with For All Things which is a beautiful Fall set. You can play along with all the challenges this month by heading here –

Freaky Friends Treat Bags

Boo bags! These cute bags are made with the Polka Dot Ta A Bag Gift Bags. I stamped “Boo” with the Larger Than Life Alphabet and made a tag with Freaky Friends. The tag is clipped on with one of the In Color Clothespins. This is the first one I did – then I realized that when filled, the “boo” no longer shows. To fix that, I moved the words up about 1 inch.

And added some bats 🙂

Supplies

Stamp Sets – Freaky Friends, Larger Than Life

Card stock – Bermuda Bay/Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Motley Monsters DSP

Ink – Jet Black Stazon

Etc – Polka Dot Gift Bags, Fun Frames embossing folders, In Color Mini Clothespins

These will be fun to hand out! Hugs, Fran

Polka Dot Pieces Case

Cards, Embossing Folder, Framelit Dies, Polka Dot Pieces

Comments

This is a catalog case of one of my favorite cards shown in the new catalog. (page 139) I followed the example with the exception of the bottom treatment. I did stitch along the card stock – but mine is a separate piece that I adhered later. I also went with a more symmetrical look on the bottom piece. Love it! I love the Crumb Cake card stock with foil vellum and glitter. Just an off-beat look. My ribbon is darker than the sample because I took the Blushing Bride ribbon and ran it over my Crisp Cantaloupe ink pad.

Supplies

Stamp Sets – Polka Dot Pieces

Card stock – Crumb Cake , Crisp Cantaloupe, Foil Vellum, Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White, Gold Glimmer

Ink – Baked Brown Sugar, Pistachio Pudding

Etc – Butterfly punch, 1/4″ hole punch, scallop circle punch, Banner Framelits, Blushing Bride ribbon, sewing machine, Large Dot embossing folder, rhinestone

Another Double embossing card, this time using Silver on Silver. Isn’t it pretty? I can’t for the life of me remember which set the “Thank You” came from – do you know? Oops – it’s Four You!

This is the same technique as here – using a card layout by Dawn Olchefske – with a lot of sparkle. For this one I used the Modern Mosaic embossing folder and Pool Party embossing powder. I added this pretty bit of bling to both sides of the card flap. This card design has half of the front cut away to make a beautiful gate opening.

Card stock – Pool Party, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer

Ink – Versamark, Pink Pirouette

Etc – Modern Mosaic embossing folder, Pansy Punch, Petitie Petal punch, Pool Party and Silver embossing powders, rhinestones

The Modern Mosaic looks like a garden lattice! Hugs, Fran

Perfect Pennants Wow

Cards, Embossing Folder, Framelit Dies, Perfect Pennants

Comments

This summer I did a “wow” presentation at a group get together using embossing folders and heat embossing. This idea was inspired by a conversation with Lisa Tedder. I brayered over the Chevron embossing folder with Versamark and then ran Silver Glimmer paper through the Big Shot. Immediately pour embossing powder (I used the now retired Melon Mambo on this one) over the embossing and heat emboss. You get a beautiful background! Double embossing!

Supplies

Stamp Set – Perfect Pennant

Card stock – Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer

Ink – Versamark, Melon Mambo

Etc – Chevron embossing folder, rhinestones, silver ribbon, Melon Mambo and Silver embossing powders, Pennant Framelits.

Sparkly! Hugs, Fran

Here’s a Christmas card using Karen Burnistion’s Evergreen Pivot Card die and a very cool idea for making it a Triple Pivot. I used Stampin Up new Mossy Meadow card stock and the beautiful Shimmery White card stock along with some Red Glimmer paper. The large tree on the front was cut separately.

When you open it you get an entire forest! The bottom “snow” area was cut with the Outdoor Edges die.

Supplies

Stamp Set -Stampin Up Christmas Messages

Card stock – Mossy Meadow, Shimmery White, Red Glimmer paper, Real Red

Ink – Real Red

Etc – Karen Burniston’s Evergreen Pivot Card, Spiral Circle Pull Card (for the snowflakes) and Outdoor Edges dies, Distressed Dots embossing folder, rhinestones, washi tape

While it looks so impressive, it really isn’t that hard to make. You could use this one for someone very special or make a bunch of them! Hugs, Fran
